    Many thanks to the bro who pointed out that the MTW2's 7 hour battery is with ANC turned off, that with ANC you'll get only about 4 hours of battery and up to 16 hours with case! That's a lot less than the Sony WF-1000XM4s. 👍🏻

      Absolutely, the Sennheisers seem to have excellent call quality when compared with the Sonys.bI've the MX3 and the call quality on them is plain bad for such an expensive pair of earphones. I had hoped sony would improve with the mx4 but seems that's not the case. The only thing missing from the Sennheisers is wireless charging.

    I was about to purchase the Sony's, but I'm glad I chose the Sennheisers. I'm an audiophile and I despise boomy sound with muddy bass, high highs and reduced mids; basically, the V-shape that lots of products apply by default. If you listen to acoustic music, you need a clear cut bass, precise mids and velvet highs. Basically, a flat response. Only through a flat response you can feel transported to the venue where the recording was made because it captures all the nuances of the space and materials. If you listen to electronic music that was never recorded in a real space, then it doesn't matter.
    As an audiophile, I avoid ANC because it alters the original sound, and it sometimes feels like there is pressure applied to your ears. The Sennheiser implementation is subtle and doesn't seem to distort much. The best way to isolate noise is with a tight fit. This the only thing I wish the Sennheiser had, as they don't provide the option of using foam tips. I'm surprised with this review regarding the call sound quality; I expected Sony's to excel, but the Sennheiser are much better, not sure if they are better than the Jabras. But i rarely talk long on earbuds, i use them to enjoy music, but is nice to know that when I've been called, the quality is good. Looking forward to find an excuse to upgrade to the Momentum 3 :P

      The consensus online that they are the best for sound was mostly formed before Pi7 and xm4 released ,the reddits I read from the past week or so say xm4 with ldac are better than sennheiser and b&w Pi7 have the best sound and build quality but they are more expensive and have worse battery life, the best one depends person to person, some care about battery, some care about sound, some care about the looks.

      In India , the maximum price reduction for Senny TW2 was only 20% (unlike upto 33% in USA and other countries) , and that too during amazon prime 2 day sale. After the sale , they are back to their original price with no discount or at times , 5% discount.
      Also , airpod pro and senny TW2 cost exactly the same original price in India. No idea why.
      Note that taxes are high in India and we eventually end up paying atleast 20% more than US/UK markets, for these premium products , which stings a little. Sony WF-1000MX4 still not available in India , and may be is getting delayed due to COVID-19 situation.

    @brothatwasepic 3 роки тому +2

    My personal conculsion for Audiophiles who are looking specifically for the best option when not wired to your amp and dac at home: When using Aptx the momentum TW2 has slightly better imaging and specifically depth, soundstage and detail retrieval even when manually setting these Sony TW XM4 at LDAC 600 in Android developer options. If they could only keep a stable 24bit/96 at specifically 990Kbps on any device there just wouldn't be a comparison due to the bitrate/transmission bandwidth being so so much higher. Conclusion the Momentum TW3s if they support APTX-HD specifically and LDAC 990Kbps specifically will be the best for sound quality. The design of the B&W Pi7, when in its super high resolution wired retransmission mode, still for some reason (probably topology design/engineering itself) sounds like it is less detailed than the Momentum TW2s. For Bluetooth quality the top two are still over ear: The now approx $350 Audeze Mobius when in LDAC at 600 (or 900 if you can get it stable) and the now approx $800 Hifiman Ananda BT

    • @SimonP2

  • @krane15
    @krane15 2 роки тому +2

    Keep in mind that features are easy. Sound quality (why you buy the earbuds in the first place), is what separates quality from the also rans. I might also remind listeners that good drivers allow you to listen to music at a low volume while still enjoying all its fidelity. If you feel the urge to have to turn up the volume to hear all the fidelity of the music, that's usually a telltale sign of lesser quality drivers.

    I often use my buds for quiet sleep. I mostly don't play music at all, only engage ANC and enjoy the silence. But nobody seems to be testing buds for sleep comfort.
    Do they fit well, do they fall-off easily, do they give irritation to the ear, how about the ANC, do they have the unpleasant hiss? Those are very important questions for someone who wants to sleep in comfort, no matter how loud their kids play, or the partner is snoring.
    Could you, please-please, maybe, keep this idea in mind for the future reviews? That would be great, and pretty unique testing characteristic too.

Costco sells the XM4's and anything goes wrong, back they go, no extra cost. Reason 2, wireless charging. Not available on Senn's. Reason 3, the size of the damn Senn case! Wont fit in my little pocket on my jeans, not great for transportation. Reason 4.... the new Senn's are out next month. Hope this helps.

      That's because they didn't include instructions for using memory foam ear tips, you're supposed to pinch them and drive out the air then put them in your ears, do this for 2-3 days of normal use until they take shape, once they take shape you can use them as normal and won't build air pressure. The first foam tip ear buds I bought had these instructions with them, the one in this one worked the same way but they didn't put the instructions in the back as they should have. There's UA-cam videos from cnet and the verge that also tells you how to use memory foam from some other earphone review videos. Honestly they should have included a seperate manual for it so people would notice.

    I've been using the Sony wf-1000xm3 since they came out and I gotta say, these things are built like a tank. I can't count the number of times I've dropped the earbuds from 2-3 meters up into aluminium floor without any problems arising, I've showered with the on even though they have no ipx rating with out problem. These earbuds have taken more abuse than most earbuds will in their lifetime so it's an easy choice for me when deciding to upgrade. I really hope the quality of the xm4 is on par with the xm3.

    I am a fan of Sennheiser and I have some line of their product which is momentum. But for earbud, I bought Wf1000xm4 for my leisure listening. Even the function of xm4 is just superb, their anc functioning well, but I still found that sennheiser have more clarity, more detail, good separation and like the video say, have deeper sound stage. Because I am more into sound quality rather than any function. But somehow because of xm4 hype (and it is cheaper too), I grab for Sony. But Xm4 work great and I love them. But I still miss the Sennheiser sound quality.

  • @barmalini

    Sennheiser is clearly much better for calls and for music listening. In ANC, while pretty much equal, Sony has that annoying hiss.
    But I like the Sony's case so much better, it is compacter and fits into the jeans pocket.
    Now it's about the time for B&O to release the ANC version of their BeoPlay's, or Bose to make their QuietComrorts in the smaller form-factor, and I will not know what to chose again.

They're not good at blocking out high frequency noises like metal clankings or stuff like that. Although I can say that for me, they blocked out all chatters from people. The spikes and sudden noises do bleed in though, but that happens to pretty much all noise cancelling earbuds I believe. Overall, I say they do well in noise cancelling, especially when you have music playing, you won't hear anything except for occasional spikes of noise here and there.

      I've brought the xm4 a week before. The sound quality is comparable with sennheizer mtw2 provided you to "enhance " it using the app's equaliser. The default setting was a bit more to the bass and will cause the lost of highs. After that, the sound quality is much better but I can say that sennheizer is still a bit better as I can notice that the sound is a bit thicker than xm4. But for phone calls quality, xm4 is the definite winner and that's the reason why I went for it. Hope these thoughts help.
